Most motorists would be familiar with the dangers of driving in the rain, such as navigating slippery roads.
However, one motorist driving in Bukit Batok encountered something entirely unexpected—a mini ‘explosion’.
A viral video of what appears to be a drain cover ‘exploding’ has been making rounds on social media on Tuesday morning (24 Aug).
SCDF officers swiftly arrived on the scene after being alerted to the incident.
At the start of the clip, a vehicle was seen travelling along a slip road next to a multi-storey car park (MSCP).
Without warning, the skies light up in a flash, presumably due to a lightning strike.
There is a few seconds of silence before an ‘explosion’ occurs at the entrance of the MSCP.

Responding to MS News‘ queries, SCDF said they received a call for a flash fire from a manhole at Block 439 Bukit Batok West at 9.10am on 24 Aug.
When they arrived on the scene, there was no fire and no reported injury.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the incident is “accidental in nature”.
It’s not every day that we see a drain cover exploding and lifted off the ground.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported. As investigations are ongoing, we hope there wasn’t any damage suffered by nearby properties and vehicles.
